Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including an input operating unit configured to receive an input operation from a user, the input operation allowing content to be scrolled, and a setting control unit configured to change a setting of a scrolling direction for the content on the basis of a situation in which the input operation has been performed.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive an input operation from a user, the input operation requesting content to be scrolled in a first direction;
- determine whether the input operation is a first input operation, the first input operation being a scrolling operation received after a predetermined time period has elapsed while displaying the content without receiving an input operation;
- set an operation distance threshold to a first value when the input operation is determined to be the first input operation;
- set the operation distance threshold to a second value greater than the first value when the input operation is determined not to be the first input operation;
- and
- change a scrolling direction for the content to a second direction opposite to the first direction when an operation distance of the input operation exceeds the set threshold,
- wherein the circuitry is further configured ask the user to choose whether to change the scrolling direction, prior to the circuitry changing the scrolling direction, and
- wherein, when the user chooses to change the scrolling direction, the circuitry changes the scrolling direction.

An information processing method comprising:
- receiving an input operation from a user, the input operation requesting content to be scrolled in a first direction;
- determining whether the input operation is a first input operation, the first input operation being a scrolling operation received after a predetermined time period has elapsed while displaying the content without receiving an input operation;
- setting an operation distance threshold to a first value when the input operation is determined to be the first input operation;
- setting the operation distance threshold to a second value greater than the first value when the input operation is determined not to be the first input operation;
- and
- changing a scrolling direction for the content to a second direction opposite to the first direction when an operation distance of the input operation exceeds the set threshold,
- wherein the method further comprises asking the user to choose whether to change the scrolling direction, prior to the circuitry changing the scrolling direction, and
- wherein, when the user chooses to change the scrolling direction, the method changes the scrolling direction.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an input operation from a user, the input operation requesting content to be scrolled in a first direction;
- determining whether the input operation is a first input operation, the first input operation being a scrolling operation received after a predetermined time period has elapsed while displaying the content without receiving an input operation;
- setting an operation distance threshold to a first value when the input operation is determined to be the first input operation;
- setting the operation distance threshold to a second value greater than the first value when the input operation is determined not to be the first input operation;
- and
- changing a scrolling direction for the content to a second direction opposite to the first direction when an operation distance of the input operation exceeds the set threshold,
- wherein the method further comprises asking the user to choose whether to change the scrolling direction, prior to the circuitry changing the scrolling direction, and
- wherein, when the user chooses to change the scrolling direction, the method changes the scrolling direction.
